Welcome to my Wiki! I'm Miss Willa, and in my Wiki, I will be incorporating the ARCS model by using my real experiences and clearly stating the purpose of each page. The information should be properly matched with your ability as another MAT student's, and it should also be easy for you to gain success by achieving the objective (to see what it's like to learn by teaching before learning to teach).

Learning by teaching before learning to teach? The purpose of my Wiki is to share what I've learned by all of my 'teaching' experiences that I've had before officially starting the MAT program to become certified to teach.

• 4th Grade Elementary Assistant, 2012-2013, rural WV
• Child Development Center Assistant (Infant & Toddler; Preschool), 2013-2016, rural WV
• TRAVEL Program Assistant, ages 5-13, Summer 2013 & 2014, rural WV
• 4th Grade Math Tutor + Behavior/SEL Coach, 2016-2017, inner-city OH
• 5th Grade Math & ELA Tutor + Behavior/SEL Coach, 2017-present, inner-city OH

I wholeheartedly believe in the mutualistic relationship between mentors/tutors/teachers and their mentees/children/students. Between those relationships and the personal development from the organizations I've worked for, I feel that my 'teaching' experiences will be added bonuses for my future career as a teacher.
